Wingstop to open new restaurant in Bristol, UK by summer 2025
Chicken wing restaurant chain Wingstop is to open a new restaurant in the city of Bristol, in the west of England, by summer 2025. Insidermedia reports that the new Wingstop location will be situated at 44 Queens Road in Clifton, in a retail property formerly occupied by the stationer Paperchase. DJ Foley Property Consultants, through Savills and twentyretail, previously secured Greggs for 46 Queens Road. Now, Wingstop, trading as Lemon Pepper Holdings, is set to open at number 44. David Foley stated: "There was a lot of competition for these two units, with interest being shown by well-known brands. We are delighted to welcome the two popular brands Greggs and Wingstop to Queens Road and wish them every success." The restaurant will occupy the ground floor and basement of the grade II-listed building, with the ground floor designated for front-of-house operations and the basement for customer toilets and staff areas. This will be the third Wingstop establishment in Bristol, joining Cabot Circus and Eastgate Road. The move is part of the company's UK-wide growth strategy, which includes the opening of more than 20 new sites by the end of 2025. Wingstop's expansion in Bristol is a significant part of its UK growth, which has seen the brand expand to 64 locations since its 2018 launch. It now has 2,700 employees across the UK. Bristol City Council has granted planning permission for the new restaurant, including the installation of a shopfront and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. In the fiscal first quarter of 2025, Wingstop's total revenues reached $171.1m, up from $145.8m in the same quarter of the previous year.

Greggs has launched a host of new additions to its menu The new range includes bakes, sandwiches, sweet treats, drinks and more I tried three new menu items and here is what I thought Iconic bakery chain Greggs has launched brand-new menu items, which includes a bake, korean chicken range, sweet treats, iced and hot coffees and much more. As a massive fan of Greggs (I'm a North East girl, sausage rolls are in my blood), I was super excited to give a few of its new menu items a try for myself. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Greggs kindly sent me three new items to try, which included the Red Pepper, Feta and Spinach Bake, Lemon Meringue Muffin and the Iced Caramelised Biscuit Latte. Greggs launches brand-new menu additions - and here is what I thought | Hope and Glory I first tried the Red Pepper, Feta and Spinach Bake, which from the outside looked absolutely delicious down to Greggs' iconic mouth-watering pastry. The bake itself was nice enough, but not something I would purchase again. It had a very prominent red pepper flavour with a hint of spice. I really enjoyed the bake, but I personally love the addition of meat in a bake, and I felt that it was missing from the flavour and texture. If you are not a meat-eater though, this could be the bake for you. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad I then tried the Lemon Meringue Muffin, which was delicious although very sweet. I'm not someone who purchases a sweet treat often, but this is a great choice who wants a little sweet kick now and again. Including lemon was a great move from Greggs in my opinion as it truly is the fruit of the season. Finally, I took a sip of the Iced Caramelised Biscuit Latte, leaving the best til last as I was super excited for it. I absolutely love iced coffee, I'm always willing to try new flavours and this flavour certainly intrigued me. The Iced Caramelised Biscuit Latte was absolutely lovely, with a very strong coffee flavour and hint of sweetness. The name of the latte made me think it would be a lot sweeter than it actually was, but I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. As part of its new menu offerings, Greggs has also introduced a Korean chicken sandwich range, brand-new pizza slice, Balanced Choice breakfast option and much more.

Madame Tussauds London unveils wax sculpture of a Greggs Sausage Roll
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Madame Tussauds London (@madametussauds) May 29 (UPI) -- Famed wax museum Madame Tussauds London unveiled its latest recreation of one of Britain's most beloved icons: a sausage roll from bakery chain Greggs. The museum showcased the Greggs Sausage Roll wax sculpture in the run-up to National Sausage Roll Day, which falls on June 5. "For a limited time only, the beloved British classic has secured a top spot in our Baker Street attraction's Culture Capital Zone alongside the likes of Sir David Attenborough, Stormzy and William Shakespeare," Madame Tussauds said in a news release. The Culture Capital Zone is "dedicated to those who've helped shape the landscape of British culture; from trailblazing artists to political giants and now, the golden, flakey pastry icon of British cuisine," the museum said. The Greggs Sausage Roll is a savory treat made by wrapping a sausage in puff pastry and baking it. "We're absolutely thrilled that Madame Tussauds London has chosen to honor the Greggs Sausage Roll in such a unique and iconic way," Greggs CEO Rosin Currie said. "It's a true celebration of a national favorite, and we couldn't think of a more fitting tribute in the lead-up to National Sausage Roll Day. Seeing our Sausage Roll receive the celebrity treatment is a proud and slightly surreal moment for all of us at Greggs."

Brits 'triggered' after American tries Greggs for the first time
An American man named Russel tried a selection of Greggs' baked goods for the first time, but his review of the items left many Brits 'triggered' Greggs, the much-loved bakery chain that's a staple among Brits for its easy-on-the-pocket offerings and range of classic comfort food – not to forget the famed sausage roll – has found its way into many a traveller's must-visit list, especially tourists hitting UK shores eager to sample its renowned delights. When an American, Russell, wanted to tick off classic British foods from his checklist, he sampled meal deals from numerous supermarkets before his trip to Greggs sparked quite the online debate amongst Brits. Going by @redbusruss on TikTok, Russell ventured into Greggs to pick up a Cheese and Onion Bake, Chicken Bake, Steak Bake, and the beloved Sausage Roll. However, what really 'triggered' Brits was Russell's use of the word bread instead of pastry. Sampling the Cheese and Onion Bake, Russell extolled its "nice, creamy filling" and applauded the so-called "bread" for being "nice and flaky", declaring, "I really enjoyed that, it was decently filling," and gave it a solid seven out of ten. On to the Chicken Bake, he drew parallels with a "good chicken pot pie", commending "The flakiness of the bread and the creamy chicken filling is really satisfying". His only gripe was that he wished there were more chicken pieces inside. Wrapping up his culinary review, Russ concluded: "Overall it's not a bad bake. It's ok, I would say," dishing out a six out of ten. Russell seemed pleasantly surprised with the Steak Bake, saying it was "really not bad" and was impressed by the generous amount of "actual steak" within, likening it to "It's like a good steak and gravy dinner inside a flaky pastry,". His verdict? A solid 7.5 out of 10 was in order. On the flip side, the famous Sausage Roll didn't quite hit the same heights for him. Despite being the "most spoken about" item he's encountered and seeing why people "like them", he said it failed to blow him away. Even so, he said it was "decently seasoned," and enjoyable to eat. He gave it a seven out of 10 score. Russell's candid takes sparked lively banter among followers in the comments. One user humorously pointed out: "Calling it bread is triggering me, but I'll let it slide because you are one of the few people to give a good, honest review lmao." Another chimed in disbelievingly: "BREAD!??? I work for Greggs mate and it is not bread," and a third echoed the sentiment, stressing, "It's not bread dude: it's pastry." While some reactions were tinged with humour: "7.5 for a steak bake is scandalous," others were playfully disputatious, arguing: "Chicken bake is stupendous." One commenter even jestingly remarked: "How can you score below 10? it's Greggs!". One cheeky remark questioned Russell's taste critique abilities: "Steak bake getting only a 7.5 makes me seriously consider your judgement. Absolutely no respect". As passionate discussions about the ratings took place, there were also suggestions urging him to try the Sausage, Bean and Cheese Melt for the ultimate Greggs experience, culminating with another follower chiming in with a warm, "Glad you enjoyed them".
